This is not exactly the track I wanted to do. I heard a song that mixed good rock, electronic, and shamisen and wanted to capture that. But I struggled with it overall so this ended up being a half baked shamisen/synthwave track. A track is a track, that still counts!
Happy new year 2025 and thank you OneZero for creating the streak this year again.
You're welcome! Thank you for contributing! I do like the unexpected use of the shamisen on a beat-heavy track--it definitely sticks in the mind here. A very cool direction to explore!
It has some solid beats in this, a good variety too. It is a weird combination of interesting/frustrating when tracks don't quite pan out how you expected them.
i like it though - as singer and bassplayer could easily "hear" the vocals :)
I like this! I know how it feels to have a track not turn out like you want, but there's some good stuff in here!
